Why We Recommended It
Flight tracking just got a serious upgrade—and it’s free for a limited time. Flight Update Pro, normally $0.99, is now available at no cost on iOS. This isn’t just a basic tracker; it taps into the same flight status service rated #1 by The Wall Street Journal, delivering real-time updates on gates, cancellations, and delays with remarkable accuracy. Whether you’re a frequent business traveler, a vacationer, or a pilot, you’ll appreciate features like automatic calendar mirroring, TripIt sync, and the ability to track up to five flights per month. Unlike many paid competitors, it also shows inbound aircraft to your gate and plots flights on a live map mid-journey. For anyone juggling busy travel schedules, this is the lightweight, reliable tool that pays for itself in stress saved. But act fast—once the price returns to $0.99, this deal is gone. Beyond the essentials, Flight Update Pro offers advanced goodies like alternate flight searches, terminal maps, personalized airport notes, and spoof-proof altitude and speed tracking. It’s been a top pick on the App Store since 2008 and praised by tech veterans like David Pogue and Jason Snell. If you need to stay ahead of your itinerary without the bloat of other productivity apps, grab it while it’s free. Your next trip deserves first-class tracking.

User Reviews
As a DELTA FLIGHT ATTENDANT I HIGHLY recommend this 100 STAR APP called "Flight Updater Pro"... especially to all who work in the Airlines..It's pretty amazing technology... and VERY accurate. One thing that sets-this/apart from other Apps is that you can easily view all INCOMING FLIGHTS that are coming INTO your gate..(ie if you are waiting for your aircraft) and you can easily look on the MAP of where that Aircraft-is-in-the-Air AND see what City & State your next plane is ... See your incoming-plane where it is flying over..AND even see How fast the Aircraft is going..AND even know How High the plane is in the Air..AND What the Configuration is of the Aircraft). / It also shows if you will be serving a Meal in First Class (great to know what to expect!).. Or will it just be a Beverage only. If you are a commuter you can click on InstaFlight and see the various Flights (Route) that are going out that day to a certain destination of your choice...you can search by looking at one airline (Delta) or all airlines. At first when I got this I didn't know quite what to do.. Then I messed-around-with-it awhile & found out how EXTREMELY EASY it is to punch all my Trips & Flights #s in. It all switches for you automatically (gate info). It can notify you of how long your layovers are.. & give you alerts that you will be departing in 2 or 1 hours. Love this App!! You can Email your whole Trip to yourself, & Family & Friends. GREAT APP... And one of the best apps out there! :)

I am part of the Beta testers of this app and used it for years. I paid the $9.99 fee to track all flights and they have switched to a monthly fee to track your flights. Poor communication regarding the new business model to generate revenue. As a customer this feels greedy and nothing more than a cash grab. This was not the app model I paid for and it will ultimately be the demise of a great app. I am leaving for greener pastures that do not milk their customers.As I categorize the comments by date I see the trend as this app will go from 5stars to 3 within months. To the developer, listen to your customers. If your subscription service is now pay per use as you have stated, you may need to switch providers, even if it’s a lesser product. You are jumping over dollars to get to nickles and you will ultimately lose your customer base. I have been a vocal advocate of this app and turned countless people into it, I no longer can do that for you. Best of luck - stop the bleeding before it’s too late, this app is very lucrative for you, find a way to sustain it in the old model before you lose it. We all remember what happened to FlightTrack Pro, learn from others failures (I realize it is a different scenario, but the lack of vision is the same)
